What’s Poisoning Our Pets: The Top Pet Toxins of 2012

In 2012, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) in Urbana, Illinois, handled more than 180,000 cases about pets possibly exposed to poisonous substances—and some breeds seemed to make up a lot more of those calls than others.

I have two rescued dogs with severe allergies & secondary infections, most likely resulting from the overuse of vaccines, poor quality foods & environmental factors. After spending a lot of money with a conventional vet, I finally found relief for them with a holistic/homeopathic vet. Please do your own research on this modality of care. It has been a God send for my dogs. There are lots of free holistic medicine sites to guide you. You can find holistic vets in your area by visiting www(dot)ahvma(dot)org. The easiest navigation there is to choose a practice type, then select your state. Some holistic vets will consult over the phone for you.

It's a very hard thing to do but sometimes it has to be done and I would starve myself before I did it any other way. After you read this link if you don't have a tear in your eye or a lump in your throat then I say you don't deserve a pet. Yes it will cost you but I'm sure you will agree.

Many of us cannot live without the comfort of our pets. I will spend whatever I have to spend to take care of them, and I only let them go when the quality of their lives has gone. I am fortunate enough to be employed but I am alone. I am putting money aside for my pets ahead of time, and I'll call it the Pet Emergency fund. I read this in several magazines, and it is the best I can do. I can't afford disability coverage for myself, by the way, and I could be facing some scary choices when my own health gives out, but as long as I have the funds, I will care for my pets. This economy had tanked, we are in a depression, and it's not just personal shortcomings that lead to less money!

I love our animails and have adopted animals in our home. We also only use toxic and chemical free products in our home for ourselves, the cats, the dogs, and the all 5 fishtanks. I can share with anyone that may be interested. Contact: www.insidehealthyhomes.com/LisaLebowitz

I talked to a woman at the grocery and she told me Febreze gave her dogs seizures! At first she thought it was a fluke but when she used it a second time it happened again. That's scary especially since directions say to use it on pet areas!

In response to paying $65 for the phone call that's a ripoff! You can look up Anything on the Internet! If its an emergency go to an animal hospital! Please, common sense really isn't a special gift, we all have it, it's just a matter of using it.
